>Environment:
System: NetBSD speedy.whooppee.com 10.99.10 NetBSD 10.99.10 (SPEEDY 2024-03-18 02:46:01 UTC) #0: Mon Mar 18 05:00:00 UTC 2024 paul@speedy.whooppee.com:/build/netbsd-local/obj/amd64/sys/arch/amd64/compile/SPEEDY amd64
Architecture: x86_64
Machine: amd64
>Description:
The ccd(4) sysctl()s mistreat the newp argument as an index
to select a device unit. On amd64 this results in an SMAP
access error and panic's the machine.
>How-To-Repeat:
Configure a ccd(4) then try ``ccdconfig -g''.
>Fix:
The following works around the problem. The correct solution
would need a rewrite of ccd(4)'s sysctl() code.

Any reason to keep this PR open? At the least, can we commit
the proposed work-around, and then lower the priority?

haven't you already commited the workaround?

Repair handling of ccd sysctls to not use newp as an index.
This is a work-around for kern/58051. It is not a complete fix.
